XO Baltimore

The Baltimore data center provides a reliable power infrastructure with single feed AC commercial power services. The entire critical infrastructure is protected by a UPS system with two battery strings capable of providing 9 minutes of backup power at full load in the event there is a loss of utility power. The standby diesel generators are connected to an automatic transfer switch (ATS) and provide emergency power for prolonged power outages. The generators are test run on a weekly basis and full load tested on a monthly basis, with fuel storage on site for 24 hours of continuous runtime if needed. The data center power room is separated from technical space with diverse power delivered by multiple PDUs in true A+B design to each cabinet, and provides a power density of 4kW per cabinet or 160 watts per square foot. The data center provides DC power options designed for greater than 4 hours of battery reserves on multiple N+1 battery strings. The entire power infrastructure has monthly preventive maintenance performed and semi-annual comprehensive maintenance performed. The HVAC units maintained via a glycol cooled precision cooling system in N+1 redundant configuration effectively controls the cooling and humidity in the data center.
